Yoshika Yamamoto Fleuristes 6eme

I'm a bit late posting today...well Paris is quite a jaunt from Maine don't cha know...

Actually I didn't care for the first two paintings I made today :(... So at 8:30 AM I decided to start over fresh and take a simpler approach... You get to call the shots when you have your own blog.

You are the boss of YOU! Anyway this is the flower shop I like the most (so far anyway) in Paris...Malheureusement (unhappily) the shop person does not reciprocate my fond feelings. He always shoos me away when he catches me taking pictures of his flowers that have exploded onto the pavement. Does he OWN the pavement (13 rue vavin 75006 Paris)? No sign outside by the way...Not that this has ever stopped me! I am a woman with a misson.I must feed my hungry PB readers. OUI!BIEN SUR!My other favorite French flower supplier is painter Fantin-Latour... Somehow I don't think he would shoo me away...My ABSOLUTE favorite Fantin-Latour!!! Someday I'd like to do a bouquet justice the way he can...sigh Oh, and as for feeding the hungry PB readers who have had to suffer through tons of lobster all last week... Have a macaron peut-etre?BONNE MONDAY!

Stunning watercolor, Carol! I can see David's influence on your "getting the shapes out there" and so delicately, I might add. Beautiful! That flower shop looks like it must be a joy. A cranky florist?? Sacre bleu!! Qu'est ce que c'est!?

Well I wrote out this nice comment and it said error and didnt print it. :( I said that the painting was lovely and just waiting to come out onto paper & how nice to start off the week with Flowers and Macarons but I didn't suffer thru lobster week at all. :)And I wish I knew some French to say the painting is beautiful. Well I do but can't spell it. lol

I am very curious. Why don't the French like you to takePictures of their windows? What do they think that youWill do they think a tourist would do with them?I loved your Maine Travelogue. It was very nice and Oh my,Did that lobster look good. Wow. I Love wild blueberries.

Fleurimont? What happened to the one you posted a website for? I immediately signed up to receive their emails, but they never showed anything even close the gorgeous arrangements you photographed, so I opted out. Well, I tried 3 or 4 times to opt out...but it's not easy to opt out in an email written in (gasp!) a foreign language. I guess I'm pretty lucky I didn't inadvertently order a $2000 Euro floral display. At any rate, the last time was the charm and I no longer receive their emails. Now Fleurimont, there's a shop whose emails might be wonderful....

I can't believe he shoos you away! And here you are giving him such a wonderful FREE advertisement! :-) He should be paying you and begging you to take pictures and should give you the biggest bouquet ever. :)His flowers are beautiful! I think I'd go there every week if my pocket would allow it.
